Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)
My Lords, does my noble friend agree that the problems of the steel industry have been greatly exacerbated by our inability to deal with dumping from China because of our membership of the European Union and the huge levies imposed on high-energy businesses as part of the green agenda, promoted by the Liberals with such vigour?
Baroness Altmann
I think the issues for the steel industry go wider than that; there are macroeconomic factors as well.
